Cannot install on Mac

[WillNye]

Awesome package, I've been using it for a couple months on Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it working on Mac. I've tried

sudo pip install -V gphoto2

building from swig

and building from the tar

All fail with the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 35, in universal_newlines=True).split('.')[:2]) File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 567, in check_output process = Popen(stdout=PIPE, _popenargs, *_kwargs) File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 711, in init errread, errwrite) File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1343, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I'm not sure what is causing this as I do have gphoto2 installed: $ gphoto2 Usage: gphoto2 [-?qvalLnPTDR] [-?|--help] [--usage] [--debug]....

Any help would be awesome!

I think the pkg-config command is missing. (I've assumed this is present on any system capable of compiling software - obviously I shouldn't.)

Easily Fixed by Installing pkg-config with Homebrew brew install pkg-config NO ROOT.

I guess you can close this now.

Hi. I get something similar on windows with python 3.5 (also tried with python 2.7).

Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\Python35-32\lib\runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name, _Error) File "E:\Python35-32\lib\runpy.py", line 109, in _get_module_details import(pkg_name) File "E:\Projects\gphoto2\setup.py", line 35, in universal_newlines=True).split('.')[:2]) File "E:\Python35-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 626, in check_output *_kwargs).stdout File "E:\Python35-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 693, in run with Popen(_popenargs, kwargs) as process: File "E:\Python35-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 947, in init** restore_signals, start_new_session) File "E:\Python35-32\lib\subprocess.py", line 1224, in _execute_child startupinfo) FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Le fichier spécifié est introuvable

Thanks.

Have you installed pkg-config? (I wasn't aware that libgphoto2 is available for Windows, so haven't considered any specific build settings for Windows.)

Tried on a raspberry pi (jessi, python 2.7). sudo aptitude install pkg-config pip install --upgrade pip pip install --upgrade setuptools pip install gphoto2 ->same error.

Will try with brew later.

[jim-easterbrook]

I usually use apt-get to install packages on a Pi. I doubt it's exactly the same error as pkg-config is now installed. I suspect it's now the development headers of libgphoto2 (or Python) that are missing.

Finally getting somewhere. You were right about missing libs. Thanks a lot!
